Monday Mood

I am too cool for this

On Saturday, she decided to sit on the bed as it was fresh linen day. I was curious to see why she was in and out of the bedroom all afternoon and so decided to see what she was up to. And here she was. She is a kitty who can stare down a lion!

I decided that she was ready to go outside. We had posted about this yesterday but I thought it would be nice to have something in video as well. For a first timer, in a walking jacket, she did very well. My other cats took a few days (except Tanaka who took to it like a fish to water) to learn how to walk with harness before they graduated to a walking jacket. When Fern asked about it she said:

"I had been walking and running outside a lot all these years" so it felt strange.I told her this is how your mummy helps you to see things outside so you won't get bored. Then I asked her why she tried to get away. She said she thought she could. I told her never to do that again as it scares everyone and she is safe in the house. She said she knew.

Note: She has weekly Reiki as well with Fern. I hope to get her to feel better and more in tune with the amigos. So she gets to talk to Fern weekly as well. Its like having your own psychiatrist. :). As with everyone else, she has monthly sessions with Craig.

About Me

About US

Bujang came one rainy afternoon on 18 Oct 04. He was a scared 4 week old kitten who fought bravely. He drank his milk and ate all his vitamins and grew up big, strong and steady. Ms Akira came from the SPCA on 20 Feb 05. She was about 2 months. She was a diva then and a diva now. Her favourite cat is her bruffer Bujang. Totoro (or Toro for short and TunaBelly for laughs), came here on 1 Mar 06 at 1.5 years old. He is goofy and gentle and loves to have his fur brushed. I rescued Megat from a dark cockroach-infested carpark on 13 Dec 06. He was already more than 10 years old. He had bad teeth, cataracts and FIV. Now he has 1 canine, some bluriness in his eyes and is a cancer (lymphoma) survivor for 2 years already (as of May 2011). He is very loving towards his humans, loves warm cushions and warm hearts. Rocket Tanaka is named after the celebrity chef Jun Tanaka. He was a Deepavalli blessing on 18 Nov 07, at 2 months. He eats much and sleeps even more but he is a sportskitty at heart. He thinks he is The Boss and behaves like one. Popsicle Poppy was rescued in October 2013, At 10, she was not as fast as before and was hurt twice by other cats and sometimes her fur would be singed by the fires during the Ghost Months. We formally adopted her in Nov 2014 after about 18 months of recuperation. Ninja Rezki started as a foster in April 2016 but as he has kidney issues, the amigos decided he should stay. We bought him a new toy on 24 December 2016 and adopted him on 25 Dec 2016. I am blessed to have them all.

Megat's details

We have put all of Megat's history in his own blog at http://megatmycat.blogspot.com/

There you will see his journey with lymphoma and how we managed to put him on the long road to recovery.

Run Free at Rainbow Bridge

We are blessed to have known these kitties and know that they are now running free.Callie (091108) She died of Ataxia. It was rumoured she was Minah's mother. She was a calm community cat.B's Mom (251108) She had an accident at the carpark where she stayed. she was small and petite, unlike my Tuxie Bujang. She was his mother and she had many kittens but was too wily to be caught.Awang (050411) He was sister S's cat and he died of FIV and renal failure.FatBoy (240810) He died of renal failure and was a gangster when he was younger but he loved scritches and midnight snacks.Minah (141011) She died of renal failure. She was our pretty community cat that everyone loved and looked out for.

Our Community Cats

Our first community cats aka Wild Bunch was a group of 4 - Callie, FatBoy, Minah and Putih. Callie died of ataxia after about 1.5 weeks of hospitalisation. It was a painful affair for her even though she was under palliative care. FatBoy died of kidney failure. He was an old cat and we did all we could for him from shelter to medicines. We even tried growth hormones! Now out of the original 4, we only have Minah and Putih - both healthy although Minah will be 7 years old this year, like my cat Bujang. the new cats Tiger and Jeffrey Boy are not really the Wild Bunch but we feed them every evening. They have a caregiver M but we feed them anyway as they are community cats.
